Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

2. Members of the project team who are directly involved in project management activities






3. Logical grouping of project management inputs - tools and techniques and outputs. includes initiating processes - planning processes - executing processes - monitoring and controlling processes and closing processes. NOT project phases






4. Area of project management defined by its knowledge requirements and described in terms of its component processes - practices - inputs - outputs - tools and techniques

10. Adding features and functionality (project scope) without addressing the effects on time - costs - and resources or without customer approval






11. Analytical technique that uses mathematical models to forecast future outcomes based on historical results. it is a method of determining the variance from a baseline parameter by using prior progress reporting periods data and projecting how much th






12. A method of estimating a component of work. the work is decomposed into more detail. an estimate is prepared of what is needed to meet the requirements of each of the lower - more detailed pieces of work - and these estimates are then aggregated into






13. Degree - amount or volume of risk that an organization or individual will withstand






14. A documented tabulation of schedule activities that shows the activity description - activity identifier - and a sufficiently detailed scope of work description so project team members understand what work is to be performed






15. Project schedule compression that changes network logic to overlap phases that would normally be done in sequence






16. An approved plan for a project - plus or minus approved changes. it is compared to actual performance to determine if performance is within acceptable variance thresholds. generally refers to the current baseline - but may refer to the original or so

29. A technique that explores the accuracy of assumptions and identifies risks to the project from inaccuracy - inconsistency - or incompleteness of assumptions






30. One or more numerical or text values that identify characteristics of the work or in some way categorize the schedule activity that allows filtering and ordering of activities within reports






31. Type of procurement document whereby the buyer requests a potential seller to provide various pieces of information related to a product or service or seller capability
